<p> I’m putting together my show schedule now. Because the show is so huge and offers up so many opportunities, it’s difficult to meet up with everyone I’d like to, but I do my best, as do my SSN colleagues.</p>
<p> I’d like to hear about new and emerging resi securty technology, its current uses and successes. I can’t write about every new product out there, but if you’ll have end users in attendance to tell me how it works for them, that works for me.</p>
<p> It’s a busy show so let’s—and I mean this politely and beneficially to all—try not to waste each other’s time. I’ve booked booth visits and attended ISC press conferences before that have promised news for our readers that just haven’t panned out. As readers of SSN, you know <a href="http:// http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/blogs/On-the-Editor%27s-Desk">the types of articles we report on and print.</a></p>
<p> Please contact me at <a>acanfield@securitysystemsnews.com</a> with your news items.</p>
<p> Also, we’ll be holding our annual “Meet the Editors” event starting at 10 a.m. April 15 at our media stage right near the entrance of the show floor. Please stop by to say hi to us. It’s completely informal, no presentations, just a way to reconnect and in some cases put names with faces.</p>
<p>I look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas!</p> </div>

<div class="field-item even" property="schema:articleBody content:encoded"> <p>Vivint CEO Todd Pedersen wasn’t “fast enough” to work in one of his own warehouses, was “moving a little slow” on an installation job and should have been more adept at handling a basic tool, according to two of his employees.</p>
<p>Pedersen got those professional reviews during his stint on the CBS show “Undercover Boss” on Feb. 20. <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/vivint-boss-goes-undercover">I wrote about that here.</a> During that experience, he says, he learned much about being a company leader and that “details matter most.”</p>
<p>For the popular reality show, Pedersen posed incognito, which included wearing a wig, as a Vivint trainee and met with four of his company’s employees at their workplaces.</p>
<p>First he worked with Mark on an install job that involved being up on a roof. That encounter enlightened him on the need for Vivint workers to have proper, non-slippery footwear.</p>
<p>He then worked with a monitoring center rep, Sandy. Pedersen, handling a call, disconnected it inadvertently. During one call, static was prevalent and Sandy told Pedersen that the system needed some fine-tuning.</p>
<p>On his third stint he worked at one of the company’s warehouses with Alma and was surprised when he had to fill out a work order on paper rather than digitally. Alma is the employee who told him he wasn’t suited to work for Vivint: “Too slow.”</p>
<p>He also was told he was working too slowly by employee Will during Pedersen’s final “Undercover Boss” gig at a smart-home installation. And, Will added, Pedersen needed practice working with a basic tool—a drill.</p>
<p><span id="styles-0-0" class="styles file-styles thumbnail"> <a href="/media/1204"><img class="media-image" id="1" typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/sites/ssn/files/styles/thumbnail/public/07.MM_.Vivint.ToddPedersen.1_0.jpg?itok=Jbx8dBgW" /></a></span>When I talked to Pedersen before the show aired, he couldn’t say all that much about the outcome of the show due to CBS restrictions. But I did catch up with him via email this week to get more details.</p>
<p>Here’s what Pedersen had to say.</p>
<p><strong>Q: </strong>What was the top lesson you gleaned from being on the show?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> As a leader, it’s your job to look at the big picture and focus on the vision of the company, but I learned that when it comes to employees, the details matter most. The smallest upgrades in equipment and installation hardware can shave off significant amounts of time and stress for employees. Little things really do make a big difference to the people you employ.</p>
<p><strong>Q: </strong>How will the show have an impact on the way your company is run/managed in the future?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> After each day on a new job [for the show], I would get on a conference call with senior management and discuss what I learned and potential improvements pertaining to that job. And while the experience hasn’t changed the way we run the company in a major way, we have made several changes in equipment and processes. </p>
<p>The most significant change we implemented was announcing a brand-new facility for our monitoring professionals. As I worked alongside Sandy, she had interference issues with her equipment. In addition to improving phone cords and headsets for Sandy and her coworkers, we decided to give them a beautiful new facility. </p>
<p><strong>Q: </strong>Any other insights? Would you do this again?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> The most interesting part was just being able to work alongside my employees as a regular guy, rather than the CEO. I truly enjoyed getting to know each of them on a personal level and learning about their backgrounds and the things they’ve overcome. I’ve always believed in cultivating strong relationships with my employees, and this experience reaffirmed the importance of that for me.</p>
<p>While not every executive has the chance to go undercover like I did, taking the time to work side by side and connect with employees is important for all members of the leadership team. I plan to give this opportunity to other executives so they can benefit from the invaluable insight that comes from being on the ground. (Although, I won’t make any of them wear a wig!)</p>
<p>I don’t think I could get away with going undercover again. Word has definitely gotten out around the company, but I did really enjoy going out in the field and working with employees across the business. I would definitely do that again, and I’ll probably take some of our other executives along with me next time. </p>
<p>Pedersen also heard the four employees’ personal stories and responded to their hardships—widowhood, bankruptcy, cancer treatments, custody disagreements and more—with compassion and with his wallet. Kudos to him.</p>

<div class="field-item even" property="schema:articleBody content:encoded"> <p>ISC West is a short seven weeks away and the editors at Security Systems News have already started to book appointments.</p>
<p>Are you interested in talking to us about your new products, your business plan, trends in the industry? We want to meet and talk to as many SSN readers as possible in Las Vegas, but since there are only three of us, we cannot meet everyone. We do have to make some choices. Below is some information you may find helpful.</p>
<p><strong>NEW PRODUCTS</strong> Will we cover your new product? Security Systems News is dedicated to breaking business news and does not do much pure product coverage. However, we do much more product news at ISC West than we do elsewhere, so please let us know about your new product launch at ISC West. If you can also tell us how and why our readers—the integrators, installers and professional monitoring companies—will be interested in this new product, we will try to fit you in to our calendars.</p>
<p><strong>An excellent way to get coverage of your new product</strong> is to have it featured for free in Security Systems News April (ISC West Show) printed publication. If you're launching a product at ISC West, you can get a nifty description and photo in our April issue for free. <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/blog/showing-new-product-isc-west">Click here to find out about that.</a></p>
<p><strong>NEW COMPANY or NEW DIVISION, TECH TRENDS, M&amp;A ACTIVITY, BUSINESS PLANS FOR 2015, OTHER NEWS TIPS? </strong> We want to hear about this stuff. Our coverage areas are divided this way: Spencer Ives <a href="mailto:sives@securitysystemsnews">sives@securitysystemsnews</a> covers monitoring and general news; Amy Canfield <a href="mailto:acanfield@securitysystemsnews.com">acanfield@securitysystemsnews.com</a> covers residential security and home automation, fire, legislative news, end-user related news; <a href="mailto:me--mentwistle@securitysystemsnews.com">me--mentwistle@securitysystemsnews.com</a>, I cover commercial and systems integrators, and suppliers (manufacturers).</p>
<p><strong>NEWS CONFERENCES</strong> Will we come to your news conference? Yes! On one condition though—please have news to share. Every year we get some "Announcements!" that so-and-so is having a news conference and they would like us to commit to attending. What's the news conference about? Well that information will be forthcoming, we're told. We understand that you may not want to announce every detail ahead of time, but we do need some information.</p>
<p><strong>TIMING FOR EVENTS and NEWS CONFERENCES</strong> We love news conferences that are coordinated with the organizers of ISC West. We like news conferences that take place in the press room or on the show floor while the show is going on. If you coordinate with the organizers of ISC West, your event won't overlap with someone elses. We do not like breakfast or dinner news conferences. We'd rather just have breakfast or dinner. Lunchtime news conferences can work in our opinion. HID used to do a well organized, informative, news conference with boxed lunches in a room close to the show floor. It was crowded too.</p>
<p><strong>THINK ABOUT MAKING YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT AHEAD OF ISC WEST </strong> So much happens at the show that we can't possibly cover it all. The really big news can bury some important news items. If you can talk to us three or four weeks ahead of time, we can probably give you more complete coverage. Reach out to us now if you want to talk about ISC West announcements ahead of time.</p>
<p><strong>IF WE CAN'T MEET YOU AT ISC WEST </strong>If your news falls within our coverage area, often times we can do a call a few weeks after ISC West.</p>
<p><strong>IS YOUR EVENT HAPPENING DURING THE Security 5k?</strong> Between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 16? Oh Well. You should be at the Security 5k, running, walking, or cheering the runners on. Get your company to put together a team and support the sixth annual Security 5K, (which was founded by Security Systems News). You'll get some exercise during ISC West and you can literally help save a child. In 2014 we raised more than $110,000, used to provide food, water, education and healthcare for more than 260 children for one year through a wonderful organization called Mission 500. <a href="http://www.security5k.com/">Click here for more information. </a>Some folks do have other commitments during that time--If you're one of them, consider sponsoring a runner. You can make a difference.</p>

<div class="field-item even" property="schema:articleBody content:encoded"> <p>BOCA RATON, Fla.—He had commanding roles in “Pulp Fiction” and “Mission Impossible” and starred in HBO’s “Don King: Only in America.” Now award-winning actor Ving Rhames is putting his tough-guy persona and deep voice to work for ADT.</p>
<p>Well, wait a sec. According to Rhames, he’s not just working for the huge home security firm; he says in the new commercials that he “is ADT.”</p>
<p>The ad campaign seeks to set ADT apart from the increasing number of smart home products available to consumers. The spots are based on the premise that consumers often mistake convenience “with the added safety of professionally monitored security,” ADT said in a prepared statement.</p>
<p>In the ads, Rhames asks, “What good is a smart home if it’s not a safe home?”</p>
<p>“Our new campaign addresses the desire for connectivity, control and most important of all—security. Self-monitored security solutions do not provide police, fire or emergency medical response in the event of an emergency,” Jerri DeVard, chief marketing officer of ADT, said in the statement.</p>
<p>Rhames says in one of the spots I viewed: “Strong isn’t wrong, I’m ADT, I oughta know. But what makes brawn even better is brains. See, I’m both the big brain at the center of your peace of mind and the big muscle to keep the peace.”</p>
<p>Big brain, big muscle, gotcha. I'm not going to argue with Mr. Ving. Good ad campaign, I think. What do you think?</p> </div>

<div class="field-item even" property="schema:articleBody content:encoded"> <p>CSAA recently posted on its site about the matter of net neutrality, as well as sending out a message from Alarm Industry Communications Committee chair Lou Fiore concerning the topic. Capitol Hill has various items up for consideration on net neutrality, according to Fiore.</p>
<p> “Our goal at this point is simply to let Congress know we are here again and what our needs are as primarily small businesses. At some point legislation will move forward, probably as a rewrite of the Telecommunications Act, and we want to ensure we are not forgotten,” Fiore said in the message.</p>
<p>Net neutrality is the concept that all Internet traffic should be treated the same by Internet service providers. <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/net-neutrality-necessary-alarm-signals" target="_blank">This has been an ongoing issue for the security industry</a> and carries with it serious implications.</p>
<p>“Our primary concern is that broadband and wireless network providers are increasingly offering services that compete with us in providing home and business security services. Without some protection for smaller players, these network providers will have an incentive to favor their own security services and ‘throttle’ or ‘block’ our emergency signals in order to gain a competitive advantage,” CSAA said on its site.</p>
<p>CSAA also provides a letter template to be sent to key members of Congress, along with contact information for these key people. CSAA urges its members to contact their local congressperson by Feb. 26, and to emphasize the personal aspect of their company's situation in this issue.</p>
<p>The association has also posted other stances the industry has taken on this issue, as well as a portion of the 1996 telecommunications act, on its site.</p>
<p>In addition to this push towards net neutrality, AICC announced today the start researching the matter of dropped signals from digital alarm communications transmitters. This will be done through a survey also <a href="http://www.csaaintl.org/dact-dropped-signals-survey" target="_blank">available on CSAA's site</a>.</p>
<p>According to a recent press release from CSAA, findings from this effort will be made available at the next AICC meetings in March and June of 2015.</p> </div>

<div class="field-item even" property="schema:articleBody content:encoded"> <p>Genetec, a developer of open-platform, hardware and cloud-based services for the physical security and public safety industries, based in Montreal, hosted a Press Summit this week. I was supposed to be there. But no! A snowstorm on Sunday prevented me from making my flight out.</p>
<p>I was disappointed. I was interested in learning and reporting about what Genetec has going on for 2015 in advance of its reveals at ISC West. I also was looking forward to finding out more about the corporate culture of the company, which was founded in 1997.</p>
<p>Corporate culture is worth knowing about. Just ask John Loud of LOUD Security, <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/loud-security-develop-company-culture-it-develops-itself">who spoke about it at Honeywell’s Connect2014 event</a>.</p>
<p>Brian Katz of Google, keynoter at our recent TechSec conference, <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/loud-security-develop-company-culture-it-develops-itself">discussed that progressive company’s culture of security</a>. </p>
<p>Attitudes all add up in making companies more successful.</p>
<p>When I visited Genetec’s HQ last year I was impressed with the atmosphere there, from the popular, low-cost gourmet food in its company cafeteria to its on-site gym. Then there’s the foosball- and X-box-equipped meeting areas. Employees trying to untangle snags in projects are encouraged to work them out over a game or two. (My teenage son has often told me that video games help him think, too, when he’s stuck on a homework project. Now I just might believe him.)</p>
<p>It’s not only about good food and fun and games for Gentec’s 620 employees, though. Those perks, along with generous vacation time and benefits and company-sponsored outings, are designed to promote a work environment that fosters “a strong culture of innovation, which is essential to the growth and future of [the] business,” the company says.</p>
<p>Genetec this year was named one of the top employees in Montreal for the ninth consecutive year by MediaCorp Canada. The contest evaluates employers on criteria that includes physical workspace, work atmosphere and social, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development and community involvement.</p>
<p>The award isn’t just about good external public relations, the company told me when I inquired. In addition to prompting more visitors to the Genetec website and boosting job applications and greater, favorable awareness about the company overall, it has made current employees proud to work at the company and, Genetec says, employee retention will grow because of it.</p>
<p>I’ll be writing more about Genetec’s corporate culture, so stay tuned!</p>

<div class="field-item even" property="schema:articleBody content:encoded"> <p>Systems integrator Diebold has been talking about the importance of APIs for years and cloud-based VMS provider Eagle Eye, <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/also-noted/eagle-eye-releases-cloud-controlled-vms">which opened its doors one year ago</a> has also been a vocal proponent of APIs.</p>
<p>This week, Diebold and Eagle Eye announced a national strategic alliance to deliver cloud-based video services.</p>
<p>The deal will allow Diebold customers to “stream and store live and recorded video, provide flexible cloud storage, and generate notification and real-time analytics.”</p>
<p>The alliance combines Diebold’s SaaS solution (called SecureStat—<a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/diebold-fortifies-securestat-explains-strategy">here’s a story about SecureStat</a>) and Eagle Eye’s VMS and <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/eagle-eye-debuts-modern-open-api">API interface</a></p>
<p>The service is “easy to use, scalable, secure and reliable,” Diebold says and it’s particularly suitable for multi-location customers who may want to use “local and cloud-based applications that … [integrate] IP-enabled or legacy analog cameras.”</p>
<p>In a statement, Eagle Eye CEO Dean Drako lauded Diebold as the “first security integrator and alarm services company to leverage the power of an open API strategy and service offering.”</p>
<p>He added that this API strategy "has revolutionized other industries and will do the same for the security industry.”<br /> <br />Diebold EVP Tony Byerly in a statement called this strategy “the future of security as we continue to leverage APIs to create a connected security program for businesses, starting with easy-to-use cloud-based video services.”<br /> <br />Diebold will integrate Eagle Eye's cloud VMS at its monitoring centers and customers will be able to see showcase demo applications <a href="http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/visit-diebold-s-center-excellence">at its Center of Excellence in Elmsford, N.Y.</a></p>
<p>At last week's TechSec conference, Diebold's Jeremy Brecher moderated an educational session about cloud-based security systems. Drako was one of the speakers on that panel discussion. Look for a report on that session in the next week.<br /> </p> </div>

<div class="field-item even" property="schema:articleBody content:encoded"> <p>About two months ago, Security Systems News spoke with Steve Keefer, national law enforcement liaison for SIAC, about the unique way the Carson City Sheriff’s Department approaches false alarms; by utilizing volunteers. Since, Keefer followed up with this sheriff’s office and found that while false alarms have dropped, it is difficult to determine how the volunteers were involved.</p>
<p>Upon looking at the figures over all reductions, “I told the sheriff, ‘I bet you’re close to a fifty percent reduction in your commercial [false alarms],” Keefer told SSN. Yet, because of how the data was organized, the exact influence of this volunteer program can’t currently be determined, Keefer said.</p>
<p>Keefer gave the sheriff recommendations, such as hand-outs, like flyers and printed statistics, as well as a heavier focus on false panic and hold-up alarms. “Those are probably more problematic for a police department, because you’re not getting, traditionally, two officers going to a robbery or hold-up—you’re probably getting three or four.”</p>
<p>A primary reason for Keefer’s follow-up was to investigate the viability this practice might hold for other jurisdictions, perhaps to be incorporated into SIAC’s recommended practices.</p>
<p>A positive aspect of this program is the small commitment for volunteers, Keefer said; they could finish a month’s duties in four hours, across two days. “It’s not draining by any means.”</p>
<p>According to Keefer, the city of 55,000 people saw about 1,300 false alarms last year. These false alarms are split about 70 percent commercial and 30 percent residential. While these volunteers exclusively visit commercial offenders, Keefer underlined that this method could benefit the residential sector as well.</p>
<p>The volunteers, a husband-and-wife pair, only visit businesses that have received two or more false alarms in a given month, totaling about 10 to 15 per month.</p> </div>
